Apps · Moving apps to your fast drive
Do I need Terminal commands to move apps to an external drive?
Short answer: No. Storage Studio copies, checks, links and tracks every app move from buttons in the Apps window — no Terminal needed.
No. Storage Studio does the whole job — copying, checking, placing the shortcut and tracking it so it can be undone — from buttons in the Apps window. You never run commands.
Doing it by hand is possible but easy to get wrong: a half-finished copy or a misplaced link can leave an app broken, and nothing keeps track of it when the app updates. See moving apps by hand.
